    There you go. I built this little one way back. 1" plywood with a layer of cloth fibreglass layer over. Snagged vents later off COE

    Maybe $3k for a solid body. Most I see get dragged home to collect dust and little else

    I'm sure you could make it work... but it's going to be a lot of headaches and cost a lot of money/time.

    Just buy a Freightliner sleeper and be done with it.

    I’ve taken many sleepers off trucks and made daycabs, never did the other way around.

    I've seen a few fld classics with a Pete sleeper.. it's not my taste but it's unique for sure

    Are you sure about that? Freightliner had a sleeper in the late 90's early 00's that looked similar to a Peterbilt sleeper at a glance.

    That's the sleeper I was talking about. At a glance it looks similar to a Pete sleeper but that is in fact a factory Freightliner sleeper.
